Is there a way that I can edit the pcl.sep file to print a blank separator page from Tray 1? The idea is that we want to put in colored paper in Tray 1 so that way our users can more easily distinguish seperate print jobs as well as recycling paper, while having their regular print jobs come from Tray 2.

 

Currently, I'm trying the following code that I found online:

\H1B\L%-12345X@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL
\H1B\L&l1H
\H1B\L&l1T\0
\H34
\B\S\N\4
\I\4
\U\D\4
\E

I don't seem to be having much luck with this, and most resources I've found online are very slight varients of this.

 

I appreciate any suggestions.

Nevermind, I figured it out. The code below for the .sep file takes the separator page from Tray 1 without printing anything on it.
